Are you sitting comfortably? Yes? Well then, I shall begin…….
It’s Matt here, and I hope that I find you all on fine form. As you may have noticed, The Reasoning have been somewhat off the radar lately. This is primarily because we have been concentrating so much on album writing, but more on that later.
First of all, whilst it saddens me greatly to say this, it has been necessary to cancel the forthcoming shows scheduled for October and November as part of our Great Escape tour. This was a difficult decision to make, but for a variety of non-musical work related reasons, logistical complications have proven to be insurmountable on this occasion. We would like to apologise wholeheartedly for this: full refunds will of course be available from all points of sale. I also extend my deepest apologies to our good buddies HeKz, who have been nothing but professional in response to the situation.
Secondly, we can tell you that the intended title for the album is Horrorscopic (with some stunning artwork by Graeme “Twig” Bell!)… but given this enforced respite, we’ve decided to take some time away from the music, in order to allow it to grow and develop more naturally. This will also enable us to think carefully about how best to produce, record and promote it. It must be said that, with 40,000 physical album sales and 100,000 digital downloads to our name, as well as 10 years of musical history, 4 albums, 1 acoustic album, 1 EP, 1 DVD, 1 Christmas single and a Top 10 Amazon chart single already under our belts - not to mention some truly amazing headline tours, shows in Europe and the US, alongside gigs such as High Voltage, shows with Marillion, FISH and many other awesome bands – a breather is probably well-deserved! There’s no finite limit to said breather: whether it takes us six months or two years to create an album that we’re genuinely proud of, then it will have been more than worth the wait. We hope that you will agree and understand. In the interim, of course, you’ll still see many of us out and about at other gigs, pontificating online and (if you’re really lucky) doing the weekly shopping [insert supermarket of your choosing].
As always, from the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank you enough for all of your continued and incredible support, and we are humbled by the enduring love that you have shown us over the years
Much love,
Matt, Rach, Jake, Keith, Rob and Seb (The Reasoning) xxxxxx
PS The wonderful HekZ will be arranging new dates to promote their fantastic new album. Go and check them out. An amazing band…….
